Answer:
A. Yersinia Pestis
Explanation:
Yersinia Pestis is a bacterium which is anaerobic and can infect humans.
The Bubonic plague is caused by a bacterium (Yersinia Pestis). After coming into contact with the bacterium, symptoms begin to present themselves within one to seven days. These symptoms are typically flu-like (fevers, headaches and vomiting). In addition, swelling might occur at the lymph nodes closest to the area where the bacteria entered the skin.
The Pneumonic plague is also caused by the Yersinia Pestis bacterium and presents itself as a severe lung infection. Similar to the Bubonic plague, the symptoms can take between one and seven days to start showing (fevers, headaches, coughing, shortness of breath).
Answer:
The application of biotechnology in agriculture has resulted in benefits to farmers, producers, and consumers. Biotechnology has helped to make both insect pest control and weed management safer and easier while safeguarding crops against disease.
Explanation:
The correct answer is the last statement.
If the regulatory serine is mutated to alanine, then acetyl-CoA carboxylase will get activated spontaneously and will produce malonyl-CoA. The increased concentrations of malonyl-CoA will obstruct the oxidation of fatty acids by preventing the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria.
It is because the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates the serine residues of acetyl-CoA carboxylase to inactivate it. If a mutation occurs in such residues, then the AMPL cannot phosphorylate acetyl-CoA carboxylase and this enzyme will get activated spontaneously.
In such a situation, there will be more than sufficient production of malonyl-CoA, which will inhibit the admittance of more fatty acid getting inside the mitochondria; this will indirectly prevent the oxidation of fatty acids.
